Beverages play a crucial role in the Hare Krishna diet, providing refreshing and soothing drinks that complement meals and offer a delightful break any time of the day. Our recipes are crafted to maintain the principles of sattvic cooking, excluding onion and garlic, and focusing on purity and nourishment. Additionally, some beverages have medicinal properties, promoting health and wellness.
The Hare Krishna diet refrains from using stimulants such as caffeine. Our Masala Chai, for example, is made with burnt coriander seeds in place of traditional black tea, ensuring a comforting and stimulant-free experience.
